Google Pixel 4a

[Alexz_Hong]

Is the loudspeaker louder than 3a? How does it compare to 4? Thanks!

I can't remember about the 3a actually haha. don't have one with me anymore. But Pixel 4 still has louder volume, better details, fuller sounding, and less shouty upper mids. But it's not bad for sure, and much better sounding than the iPhone SE 2020 which sounds like a bit hollow.

Got some jank when scrolling through heavier websites and having some app running in background.

Should use SD845 instead of SD740.. even iPhone se is using a very good chip.

cross fingers maybe a super late or early 2021.. you never know.

Accordingly to 9to5google.com, there's a leak in France stating that the Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 will be available for pre-order from October 8.

But I remember reading along this thread, someone mentioned that Singapore is not in the list for retail.

Am i the only person who's going to "downgrade" to Pixel 4A from redmi k20 pro?

As much as miui is fine for most daily usage, there's still little quirks here and there that gets me.

I was using pixel 2 xl previously and there are times i still miss my pixel, not sure how to explain exactly but it just works stably all the time.

As for the extra lens on the k20 pro it doesn't matter to me as almost 100% of the time it takes worst picture than the main lens, i rarely used it.

I may just replace my Pixel 4 XL with this.

Yup in the same boat as you currently. Face unlock on Pixel 4 XL is useless and is irritating the hell out of me. LOL

I really don't see any added advantage of having Face Unlock. I can see how fingerprint sensor is not ideal when you have to wear gloves. But I almost never wear gloves..

(Don't even get me started on Soli - truly, truly, a gimmick.)

I even turn it off the radar thingy. Piece of useless tech

I think its nice of Google to try out potential new features. If it doesn't work well then remove it and maybe fine tune it before deciding to release it again in future generations.

Will 4a be faster than 2xl?

Ya I turned it off from Day 2. Lol....

Overall... not really? Only have the Pixel 2 around. In day to day use like basic apps, reddit, carousell, instagram, etc, 4a launches app the same speed or maybe a split second faster. Smoothness feels about there. Gaming wise I only really play MLBB, and for that, the Pixel 2's performance is still noticeably better. But 730G is a much more efficient chip, so battery life noticeably better compared to the 2, and probably comparable to a new Pixel 2XL with fresh battery.

I changing from Pixel 2 to 4a, would you say its more of a hardware refresh instead of a upgrade? Or is it a downgrade? haha

Haha true, glad to feel that I kinda made a right choice.

After moving to a Sim only plan, find it hard to justify paying 1k SGD for a phone.
